Chapter 141: The Furious Meteor Thunder Crystal Spirit

"Clan Leader..." After Xiao Han and his companion had completely left everyone's sight, one of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Elders stepped forward and asked with a hint of hesitation, "Are we just going to let them leave like this?"

Not to mention that Xiao Han had brought people to block the gates of their Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan today; if word of this got out, it would be an utter humiliation for their entire clan.

Furthermore, in order to rescue the several Supreme Elders,

they had paid a massive price. Previously, when the Supreme Elders had not yet been freed, they had no choice but to play along.

But now that the Elders had all been examined and no hidden traps were found, their safety was guaranteed. Relying on the speed of their Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, catching up to the Ice Saint and the others would not be difficult.

Yet Huang Tian had not made a move, which left this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Elder feeling somewhat confused.

"What, do you think we could really keep him here?" Huang Tian's expression at this moment no longer held its previous calm; instead, his face had become ferocious.

"This subordinate is dull-witted!" that Elder said, covered in cold sweat.

"One of them is a Five-Star early stage,

the other is a Four-Star late stage; which one of you is going to hunt them down? Huh?" Huang Tian said terrifyingly.

Thinking of this, Huang Tian felt a surge of anger. Although there were some Dou Saint powerhouses in the clan, the only ones qualified to trade blows with the other side, being above the Four-Star Dou Saint level, were Lei Huang and himself.

The former had not yet recovered due to that insidious seal of Xiao Han's, and if he were to hunt them down alone, he feared it would be like delivering himself on a platter.

"Yes." The Elder replied in fear and trepidation.

"You all better reflect on yourselves as well!" Huang Tian focused his gaze on Lei Huang and the others, saying with a tone of frustration that they had not lived up to his expectations.

Huang Tian absolutely did not believe that Lei Huang and the others had not underestimated the enemy this time. Otherwise, four Dou Saints would not have been captured in their entirety, leading to this current state of affairs.

"Yes." Lei Huang and the others also felt ashamed; this time it was truly too embarrassing, and they prepared to go into deep seclusion to cultivate.

"Then are we still going to continue to get involved in the Central Plains?" Lei Huang asked hesitantly. Originally, they were going to intervene in the Central Plains through the Langya Pavilion, but the latter did not agree. They then turned to wanting to show their strength to the world in a battle, but...

They lost miserably!

He didn't even know if the plan should continue to be executed.

"Continue." Huang Tian paused for a moment, "Go and test the attitude of the Four Directions Pavilion!"

A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit,

Huang Tian did not dare to continue being arrogant,

and chose the Four Directions Pavilion as his target.

Its reputation was acceptable; although in the eyes of super powers like them it was very mediocre,

it still held status in the eyes of most people in the Central Plains. Moreover, its strength was not high, making it easy to control.

He simply did not believe that the so-called Four Directions Pavilion, which didn't even have a Five-Star Dou Zun, could cause any trouble!

"Yes."

After Huang Tian gave the order, he did not continue to follow up. If he, the boss, had to worry about everything, what were all the subordinates for!

Huang Tian was in a helpless mood, but Xiao Han and his companion were in high spirits.

"Hey, hey, wipe that lecherous grin off your face." Traveling through the Void Space, the Meteor Thunder Crystal Spirit looked at Xiao Han's uncontrollable smile, felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

"Oh!" Xiao Han reacted, wiped the transparent liquid from the corner of his mouth, and said with a serious expression.

"However, we've made a killing this time. Hahaha~" Not long after, Xiao Han burst into loud laughter once again.

It was too much; first he collected the ransom for five Dou Saints, and then he scraped another layer off the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

It had to be said that what a person can obtain has a great deal to do with the level they are at.

Back then, when his Langya Pavilion raided the entire home base of the Tianming Sect, the Earth-tier Intermediate and higher Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods they obtained did not exceed fifteen.

A hundred years ago, when he was still a Dou Zun,

he had to fight hard against a large group of people just for one Earth-tier High Grade Dou Technique.

But now...

He had only "slightly" captured a few Dou Saints,

and then "casually" collected some ransom,

and the harvest before and after could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Not to mention the mountain of high-grade Medicinal Herbs,

there were also dozens of Earth-tier High Grade Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, as well as the most precious Heaven-Tier Dou Technique and Ninth Grade Pill—a huge windfall!

The comparison between before and after was the difference between a thin bamboo pole and obesity! Xiao Han's smile became increasingly impossible to hide.

"Alright, I know you're amazing!"

The Meteor Thunder Crystal Spirit said irritably. How many years had it been? He had never seen anyone who dared to capture Dou Saint powerhouses in exchange for ransom.

Under normal circumstances, the most correct way to deal with a grudge against a Dou Saint powerhouse was to kill them directly and be done with it, saving oneself from having to prevent a whole pile of troublesome matters later.

But Xiao Han clearly had the strength to do as he pleased, with no Forbidden concerns. Plus, the forces he blackmailed were all famous and established; the monk might run, but the temple couldn't. If the other side dared to retaliate, Xiao Han could likewise pay them back in kind.

However, this only lasted for a while; soon, Xiao Han put away his lecherous smile and became serious again.

"What, did you discover something at the time?" Xiao Han asked in a grave tone.

The reason Xiao Han was in such a hurry to end the war with the Soul Hall was not only because he still had to go block the gates of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, but also because the Meteor Thunder Crystal Spirit had sent him a voice transmission at the time, saying that there was a problem with Ye Jianxin's injuries.

For the sake of caution, Xiao Han went with the flow and agreed to Hun Miesheng's proposal for peace talks.

Now that everything was finished, Xiao Han finally had the time to focus on this issue.

"Are you sure there's no problem with the origin of that Soul Clan of yours?" The Meteor Thunder Crystal Spirit stared straight at Xiao Han, his eyes not blinking as he spoke.

"I don't know much about the Soul Clan either. They seem to be the Ancient Race with the longest heritage, extremely mysterious. I don't know much else." Xiao Han said helplessly.

As a junior who started from scratch and had only risen for less than a hundred years, how could he possibly understand an Ancient Race like the Soul Clan that had been passed down for who knows how many years.

"What, is there a problem with the Soul Clan?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

He knew that an "old thing" like the Meteor Thunder Crystal Spirit would never care about the reputation of the Soul Clan's strength or the like.

In terms of knowledge, who in the entire continent could be broader than an old man who had survived from tens of thousands of years ago.

When his former master, the Ice Spirit Great Emperor, dominated the Dou Qi Continent, the first generation Imperial of the Soul Clan didn't even know where they were staying! In the eyes of that person, the affairs of the Soul Clan were likely nothing more than that.

It was precisely because of this that he was curious why Yunlei Jingling would be curious about this junior, the Soul Clan.

"I sensed Evil Qi on Ye Jianxin's wound!" Yunlei Jingling stopped traveling, his tone grave, his fingers tapping incessantly against his arm.

"Evil Qi? How is that possible?" Xiao Han's heart shook violently, and he questioned it instinctively. The Soul Hall was a native force of the Dou Qi Continent; how could it possibly be associated with the Evil Clan?

However, the next instant, Xiao Han calmed down; he was not someone who could not accept reality. Yunlei Jingling could not be deceiving him, nor would he misperceive it; the only thing he could do was believe the former.

"I will find a way to investigate this, but... the results might not be satisfactory," Xiao Han stated decisively.

Since the Soul Clan had somehow become associated with the Evil Clan, Xiao Han would not blame heaven or others; exploring the deeper reasons was the correct solution.

However, he also did not forget to provide a disclaimer. Xiao Han never doubted the mystery and power of the Soul Clan, and the existence of the Evil Clan was likely a secret even within the Soul Clan.

If not for the fact that Yunlei Jingling had guarded the seal for years and was extremely sensitive to Evil Qi, he would likely have just regarded it as some kind of special weapon and would not have paid it much mind.

Therefore, the most likely outcome of this investigation was returning empty-handed.

"Hmm." Yunlei Jingling's eyes were filled with killing intent, "I don't believe that so-called Soul Clan won't reveal any flaws."

He was truly angry now; in Yunlei Jingling's view, the Soul Clan stirring up trouble and causing devastation was not that hard to accept.

He had seen forces even more unscrupulous than this in the past; although he couldn't stand it, it wasn't something he could change, so it was no big deal.

But as a force of the Dou Qi Continent, to actually collude with the Evil Clan was a betrayal of the entire continent. As an old man left over from that era, Yunlei Jingling's hatred for the Evil Clan had long since reached an insurmountable level.

By extension, the Soul Clan had also been completely added to his blacklist.

It's just a matter of patience! He had already spent tens of thousands of years wearing down the Evil Clan, so this little bit of time didn't matter.
